OFTEN USED WITH...

reverse turns both way.:

Players run with the ball at the cones (pretending these are a defender).

The players reverse or forehand turn away from the cones to then continue straight and pass the ball to the other side.

Eliminating a Player

Pull back:

Set up four cones in a 5 by 5 metre square.

You can have 1 to 4 players working in any one square, each player needs a ball.

Video Techniques

Warm up exercise for vision and talking:

Spread your team anywhere inside the half of a pitch. Only give your team 3 balls.

You may pass the ball around to anyone inside the half. This will create a lot of talking and activity.

Do this exercise for about 5 minutes. It is important that the players keep talking and moving off the ball, always making themselves available to receive the ball.

For quick decision making do the same exercise inside the circle.

Warm-up Games

Pull Back:

Player runs to the left of the cone and pulls the ball back. He/she then runs to the next cone etc. On completion of the circuit, give the ball to the next player.
3 - 4 players per group, if space is limited and there are more then 4 players per group, use 2 balls.
